May 8, 2011 - Third Sunday of Easter and Mothers' Day

Why God Made Moms

For those of you who don’t know the answer, here are some brilliant answers given by some 2nd graders, according to http://www.appleseeds.org/God-Made-Moms.htm. Enjoy!

Why did God make mothers?
She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
Mostly to clean the house.
To help us out of there when we were getting born.

How did God make mothers?
He used dirt, just like for the rest of us.
Magic plus super powers, and a lot of stirring.
God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of?
God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other Mom?
We're related.
God knew she likes me a lot more than other people's Moms like me.

What kind of little girl was your Mom?
My Mom has always been my Mom and none of that other stuff.
I don't know because I wasn't there, but my guess would be pretty bossy.
They say she used to be nice.

If you could change one thing about your Mom, what would it be?
She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
I'd make my Mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head.

What would it take to make your Mom perfect?
Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.
On the outside, I think some kind of plastic surgery. But on the inside, she's already perfect.
Well, I hope you all have the perfect mother and will be able to celebrate Mother’s Day with them. And for
those whose Mothers have gone ahead to prepare the way for us in heaven, blessings to you and your moms.

We will be remembering them in our Novena of Masses beginning today. Happy Mother’s Day!
